I for one have been playing openmw non stop. Being able to replay morrowind on a brand new modern engine has completely enthralled me. The graphical enhancements you can add are superb, volumetric clouds and fogs keep the same aesthetic of the alien world Morrowind inhabits while also adding some much needed visual flare.

Also the gameplay still holds up...mostly! Finding your quests is an experience in itself. I'm getting terribly used to quest markers and maps that tell me where to go. Morrowind says fuck you "Your quest is by the old rickety bridge south of town besides the river. Good luck" no markers just exploration.

The game is not for everyone but everyone should try it.

M2TW re-kindled my interest in history after high school APUSH and APWH killed it, so I feel that. I remember taking college level courses while playing Stainless Steel, 1648 and Broken Crescent as those periods were covered. Fun times.

And to think I originally just wanted M2TW just because of the LOTR mod...

Broken Crescent has such a great map, it's one of my favorites. nothing like a strong early game becoming a desperate mess when the mongols arrive. one of the only mods with a detailed (southern, granted) central asia so i revisit it from time to time
